This is a video of a TT scale layout and is just a joy to watch, especially for those into the military :heart2:

I thought it may press a few buttons for you :D
Thanks for posting John, fascinating to watch even if like me you can't stand anything military-related :D

Could take a guess? The guide wire is continued in the wagon bed, each vehicle has an onboard signal receiver of some kind (radio, infra-red maybe?) linked to a small solid-state switch that turns the power on to the motor. Just a case of signalling each one in turn, probably not too difficult with a little electronics know-how ;)

Im lost for words

Looks like the wire continues down the wagons. I've see video of this in RTR HO as well doing rolling road wagons.
Brilliant! :thumbsup:
Them little army people sure do drive quick!

Excellent. Wonder if I can incorporate that into my US layout. Have to look into this, although It's probably expensive.

Somehow I don't think probably would come into it Alex :'(
cheers John.
I was pleased to see that the fickle finger of fate was needed in a couple of cases to prod the vehicles into life!
very clever though.
